Cactus Cake

Our Unit Chief at work was being promoted to Commisioner, so we had a Wild West BBQ potluck in her honor. This was one of my first ever cakes, and the first time I ever used homemade cream cheese icing, which I soon discovered was not the best idea for decorations. *LOL* I also didn't plan for enough room to write the Congrats message, so I filled the space in with a little cacti. I learned a lot from this one!
Strawberry Marble cake, cream cheese icing, and some leftover crumbs as the "sand"
